Maximillian Excaliber: Stories

I am Maximillian Excaliber and before the story I would like to tell you the importance of leaving feedback.

As a writer, it is important to know how well or not well received a work is by received the target audience. Unlike movie and TV studios, we can not rely on focus groups to tell us how our work is being accepted.

On this site, the mechanisms some of us writers rely upon, especially the new ones like myself, are feedback and ratings.

A given work may have been read by 8000 people in three days, but if only 10 or 20 people take the time to rate it and only 2 to leave feedback it is impossible for us and you to tell how popular the story actually is and it is difficult for us, as writers, to know what may need improvement.

While feedback is important to improvement, ratings are the best gauge of how popular a story is but they are only reliable if enough people do so.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and Happy Reading,

One final note, I have been trying to find an editor. Of four attempts only has responded however we seem to be having technical difficulty with emails being lost so I am still effectively without one. I run each story through two different word processing programs and have it read aloud to me by software but still errors get through. If you are an editor and which to help, please let me know. If not, please try to be understanding of the situation and keep in mind I am still looking when providing feedback.
